    Any of the larger tires on the BR I have ever seen have been on larger rims, also I personally wouldn't want to go bigger on the stock rims..there is enough tire roll on the 25s already.

    I just checked the entire inventory on the Rocky Mountain ATV site for tires that fit of the stock 9" rim. Absolutely none bigger than 25". My experience is it Rocky Mountain doesn't have it..it probably doesn't exist!!

    Think bigger rims and tires..

    25" is the tallest tire I have seen made, for a 9" diameter wheel... Vampires are the gnarliest I have seen in a 25"

    A tall 25" will rub the rear fenders when the suspension bottoms out - so without mods - 25" is the biggest. Keep i nmind 25" tall tires are not all 25" tall - some may measure 26" some may measure 23.5".

    You cannot get any bigger tires on a stock wheel. I had to upgrade to a 12 inch, itp ss 212 wheel to use my 26" kenda bearclaws on my 250es.
